Pfizer booster likely to be OK’d by Sept. 20, but Moderna’s may lag, Fauci says

The Pfizer-BioNTech shot will likely be the only COVID-19 vaccine booster available by Sept. 20, the Biden administration’s target date to begin offering them, but Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday that Moderna’s shot shouldn’t be too far behind.

Speaking Sunday on CBS News’ “Face the Nation,” Fauci, the White House’s top pandemic adviser, said Moderna’s MRNA, +4.79% booster might not have approval from the Food and Drug Administration by that date.
